Criminal Defense for Crimes That Impact Immigration Status

Past criminal convictions can come back to haunt you; could even lead to deportation. It may be possible to reopen an old case and plead it again. Talk with one of our immigration criminal defense lawyers.

Client Testimonials

Successfully Dismissed Case - Colin handled my case with an exceptional level of professionalism from the moment I first spoke to him on the phone. I was initially not very optimistic about my case on account of having prior un-related, and unfavorable legal encounters that could have worked against me. But my experience with Colin was different. He lucidly explained every facet of my case and engineered a well thought-out legal strategy that he put into motion right away.
The level of service I received from Colin and his team was exceptional. Once his strategy was in place, the only encounter I ever had with the court was to show up to announce my name in attendance - the rest was all Colin. It was really that simple. I highly recommend Colin and his team.
Thank you for all your hard work Colin.

Assault - Dismissed I hired Mr. Colin for an assault case a while back. I was really scared because I'd never been arrested before but a friend gave me his phone number and said he knew his stuff. He asked me a lot of questions, explained the process and helped me gather evidence against the other which convinced the DA to dismiss the case because I was just defending myself!

Fantastic Attorney! Last year I was charged with DWI with a breath test of .18 - at first the prosecutor wasn't willing to offer anything less than 2 years probation on a DWI based on my criminal history and the breath test results. Mr Hobbs convinced the prosecutor to watch the video there in court while I was in the courtroom. He managed to get a 6 month deferred probation offer on a Class B Obstruction of a Highway which is MUCH better than a DWI and eventually will get dismissed. Since I won't have a conviction I was able to keep my job and while I hope I don't need him again, he'll be my first call if I do!
